This book is wonderful. Succinct, accurate, easy-to-read. Biblically marvelous and builds Biblical faith. Most importantly, provides simple and effective answers to counter the silly arguments that evolutionists [and others] use to blame the God of the Bible for tragedies and death in the world [read 'sin']. This book should be placed in the pews of all churches along with the hymnals and Bibles, it's that important in these times in which we live.

Would suggest having a reliable modern Bible translation handy for understanding the Scriptures quoted, as those in the book are the King James Version.

Gallups directly addresses the doubts and fears of young Christians in a hostile culture. Seamlessly combining ...
